Why we're here

There are literally thousands of recipe sites and food photo blogs on the internet, but precious few places to contemplate serious culinary inspiration. By compiling lists of menus from some of the world's best restaurants, we've created a one-stop, easy-to-use resource for those interested in quickly browsing "professional" ideas to help create authentic, exotic, and innovative recipes at home (or even in the professional kitchen).

Instead of wasting your time combing through thousands of amateur recipes or hauling out every cookbook you own looking for inspiration, go straight to the pros for great cooking and restaurant menu ideas!

The purpose of this site is not to rank, review, suggest, or anything of that nature; this is simply a gallery of menus from well-regarded restaurants from all over the world that we think are particularly interesting to read. Please let us know if you have a suggestion for a list!
